A quick tutorial

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you might remember a series of Z-fold cards that I created for Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.

As part of the commission I created two step by step tutorials and as the magazine is no longer available I thought I would share one of them on my blog.

This is the finished card, it is a beginner design.


Score a 30 x 20 cm piece of card stock at 7.5 cm and 15 cm.


Trim 5 cm from the card stock to create two separate panels.


Valley fold both pieces of card stock along the 15 cm score line and mountain fold along the 7.5 cm score line.


Rotate the smaller panel and cover the front panels with pattered paper, I always leave a narrow border around the outside.


Adhere the narrower strip to the card front to form the 'Z' shape.


Decorate as desired.


I hope this step by step is helpful to those of you that haven't created a Z-fold card yet.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

    Brilliant clear instructions - I haven't created one before so as soon as I'm out of these PJs I'm off to my crafty corner to make one. Thanks Pauline, so very helpful. x Anne

    Hi Pauline,
    vielen Dank für das Tutorial. Du hast es super erklärt und durch die Bilder kann ich es sehr gut nachvollziehen. Mein Englisch ist nämlich nicht gut und die Übersetzung manchmal etwas unverständlich. Diese Art der Karte gefällt mir sehr gut. Das werde ich auch einmal ausprobieren. Hugs Silvi
